We have a papaya tree in one of our yards. For the life of me, I have yet
to figure out why people like it. Smells like vomit to me. DH loves it, so
not too many go to rot on the ground.

Some people can't understand how other people can eat olive oil or catfish or fermented soy beans so welcome to the club!

This morning I had a Stone Cookie from Mt. View Bakery. It is likely that you wouldn't be able to figure out why people like this rock hard cookie/biscuit. My wife and I can't figure out why people like them. I had one, she had two. Most people will dip it in coffee or cocoa to soften it up some. I'm a macho kind of guy so I just attack it commando style.

Years ago, I ordered several bags of cookies from Mt. View Bakery through the phone. The lady taking my order said she'd mail it right out. I got the distinct impression that she was going to walk my order to the post office.

"Do you want my card number?"

"No, we'll send you the bill."

I got the cookies with the invoice and so I mailed a check right off. That's Hawaiians for you. Is it any wonder that they got their land stolen right from under their feet? No it isn't.

It is a long time since I have seen anything like that!
These days it is always the 'card'.

You are quite right. When I bit into that "cookie" thing, nothing happened. It was a fail. My teeth were stopped at the front gate. You have to learn a technique to biting through that thing. That cookie rocks - literally!

Yes, that's what i just posted about! Our papayas smell and taste
faintly like vomit. But equally ripe papayas from another papaya tree
are quite nice, a bit like calmed down mangos. There must be different
strains. I guess this is where the Latin names come in. Papaya
Variegata "Mrs. Jones backyard".

Ours grew wild, so I have no idea about different strains. I was
surprised how fast it grew from seed and was able to bear fruit. On my
bucket list for this year is to plant a few more fruit trees, preferably
exotic, but I have to decide what exactly those will be. We also currently
have a couple banana trees and pineapple bushes, and the neighbor has
avocado and lime trees that grow over the fence and produce prolifically so
no need for those.

You must live in the subtropics, like us. Banana's popular here, but
there's a restriction to do with a banana plant disease. Not sure. We
have 1 or more of lychee, custard apple, persimmon, loquat, avocado,
lime, lemon, orange, mandarin, lemonade, macadamia, olive, jaboticaba.

They don't all produce yet, though. I've been pampering the lychee
tree because it wasn't going anywhere without help. It's now trying to
produce 1 lychee

Not exactly the subtropics, but coastal south Florida. Part of the time,
anyway. Most of the year I live in the cold tundra of Minnesota, where
apples abound but thats pretty much it in terms of fruit trees. Plums,
pears and tart cherries grow here as well, but theyre not too common. You
threw a couple new ones at me€”Ive never before heard of jaboticaba, and
loquat only rings the faintest of bells. Ill have to investigate their
viability. We might be in too wet of an area for olives, but Id love to
grow them.

I don't know what loquat is myself. I'll have to wait and see when
they bear fruit.

Jaboticaba is like a rain forest cherry. The fruit grows straight on
the branches, quite strange. Problem is that these trees grow very
slowly. Ours are nowhere near producing.
